Chapter Eighty-Six: The Shy Guiqiu (Part II)

Because it was not a meal, there were no outsiders in the Zhou family's restaurant, only Zhou's father and daughter and a few uncles and nephews of the Gui family.

Zhou Lixiang went to bring the cut watermelon up, and was about to go down, Gui Wu said: "Don't go, niece, what Xiao Chongyang said is related to my niece." ”

Master Zhou said with a smile: "Your fifth uncle told you to stay, just sit down and talk, don't learn from others to twist and pinch." ”

Zhou Dingxiang smiled heartily, then pulled a small stool and sat next to Gui Chongyang.

"It's all Chongyang's idea, let Chongyang say it himself." Gui Wudao.

Everyone looked at Gui Chongyang, and Gui Chongyang said: "I thought that the eldest brother and the second brother Qiu in the family were not young, and when I saw that when I married my own son, the fifth uncle had to take the boy's test again, and it cost money, so I thought it would be better to open source it as soon as possible." Although the safest thing is to buy land, the price of land in Tongzhou is rising every day, and we can't grab good land, so we want to make a living here at the wharf. Just thanks to the blessing of the fifth uncle, I bought a few small shops, so I thought of unifying the signboard and making a fast food shop, which sells noodles, steamed buns, steamed bread and baked cakes, with a few kinds of porridge, so that everyone can eat a full meal for ten dollars. Speaking of which, I will recruit those people who sell across baskets at the dock as partners, and deliver "takeaways" to the dock by the way.

Master Zhou listened carefully, not at all contemptuous because of Gui Chongyang's young age, Zhou Dingxiang's eyes became brighter and brighter, but he was anxious, as soon as Gui Chongyang finished speaking, he said, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

Gui Chongyang glanced at Master Zhou and said, "I thought that although this is a small business, I still have to watch it by my own family, and I want to invite Second Brother Qiu to go over to take over, and Sister Zhou to take care of the kitchen." ”

Master Zhou didn't speak, but his face didn't show displeasure, but seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhou Dingxiang thought about what Fang Cai Gui Chongyang said, "his own family", and couldn't help blushing, and was a little embarrassed to ask again.

Gui Qiu said: "The Lilac Bai case is indeed working, but there is also a beach here, if you invite her over, how can you calculate the salary?" ”

Gui Chongyang said: "Sister Zhou has an overview of the kitchens of the three shops, and Sister Zhou is divided into dry shares!" ”

Guiqiu didn't speak, and looked at Zhou Dingxiang, just as Zhou Dingxiang also looked over. The two looked at each other, and they both moved away quickly, but there was no ordinary openness.

Gui Qiu thought about Gui Wu's words, looking forward to it, and being apprehensive and uneasy.

Zhou Dingxiang was thinking about what the Gui family meant? Xiao Chongyang is not very old, but he is a person who can call the shots, is this a hint from the Gui family?

Gui Wu and Gui Chongyang saw the two of them like this next to them, Gui Chongyang smiled secretly, but Gui Wu frowned. The pair of children in front of them seem to be interested in each other, but if the Zhou family insists on recruiting sons-in-law.

Master Zhou looked at Zhou Dingxiang and saw that his daughter's eyes were full of anticipation, but he didn't ask Zhou Dingxiang, but looked at Guiqiu and said, "Qiu'er, do you also want your sister to go?" ”

Gui Qiu was immediately dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at Gui Qiu, Gui Qiu didn't have his usual cleverness, squeaked and whined for a while, and saw that Master Zhou's face was dark, so he nodded in a panic and said: "Hope, I hope for it, but I don't worry about the master here." ”

Master Zhou looked at Gui Wu and then at Gui Chongyang, and then said: "Your rice shop has a good plan, but there is a lack of meat, and I will provide you with braised meat, braised water, and braised eggs in the future. ”

Gui Chongyang was naturally very happy, and hurriedly nodded in response. Even if Master Zhou doesn't mention it, he has to take the initiative to mention it.

Gui Qiu worried: "But Lilac and I are gone, and the master will not have enough manpower here." ”

The best solution is naturally for Master Zhou to take another apprentice and hire a young man.

Master Zhou said: "I have been lacking all these years, so I took this opportunity to directly change the restaurant to a monopoly on marinated goods, so that I don't have to stay up in the morning and evening." ”

Everyone looked at Master Zhou, and Master Zhou smiled open-mindedly and said, "The smoke and fire have burned for a lifetime, and I will finally be able to go out for a walk in the future." But Qiu'er, you have to come over if you have nothing to do, I will adjust and condition you, and when you have thoroughly eaten the skills of lo-mei, I will be able to rest assured that this pot of old lo-mei and recipes will be passed on to you. ”

Zhou's shop is most famous for braised pork, but the root of braised meat is recipes and old soup. When Master Zhou said this, it was tantamount to taking Guiqiu as the heir of the mantle, but he didn't give this shop to Guiqiu. But the shop is easy to buy, but this recipe is not easy to buy.

Gui Qiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't help it, I'll leave those to the little brother." ”

This kind of thing that settles down has always been passed from father to son.

The younger brother here is naturally not Gui Chongyang, but Master Zhou's son Zhou Xiaodi, who is a few years younger than Zhou Dingxiang, and is only seven or eight years old this year, and is enlightened in a private school in the town.

Master Zhou smiled bitterly: "Everyone is not an outsider, my son can't enter this industry." He doesn't taste salty on his tongue, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about taking in an apprentice. Even if there is a shortage of manpower, just recruit guys. ”

The crowd was amazed.

Master Zhou said: "If you send it to the dock, the flatbread with meat and chestnut cake are excellent." ”

Chestnuts are produced in Tongzhou, and chestnut cake can be regarded as a local specialty. Even if it is a passing ship that sends people ashore to buy local products, it can buy this; Flatbread with meat, affordable and satisfying, is the favorite of travelers.

Gui Chongyang nodded and listened, and Master Zhou said a few more soups, all of which were extremely useful proposals.

Although there is a reason why Master Zhou wants to pass the mantle to Gui Qiu, it is still Gui Qiu who is moved enough. He has always been an active person, but this time he was a little shy, so he just swore to Master Zhou: "Don't worry, master, in the future, the little brother will have me, and the master will have me here." ”

Master Zhou looked at him and snorted lightly: "Stinky boy, I'm not old enough to be seventy or eighty, where is your turn to worry about this?" ”

Zhou Dingxiang didn't hear anything wrong, so she squeezed her nose and said, "You haven't left the teacher yet, and there is my senior sister above." ”

Gui Qiu didn't quarrel with Zhou Dingxiang as usual, but said: "The master didn't officially accept you as an apprentice, you should still be a junior sister." ”

Zhou Dingxiang was not angry, and wanted to say it again, Master Zhou said: "It's rare for Xiao Chongyang to come to town, you go and take Chongyang for a stroll and buy some snacks." ”

"Little Chongyang" was beside him, and he couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. How old are you, are you three or four years old? However, he also saw that Master Zhou was going to talk to Gui Wu, so he got up and said, "Second Brother Qiu also went, and he came twice, but I haven't looked carefully at the shops around me." ”

Zhou Lilac was playful, and her eyes lit up immediately, and she said: "The candied fruit in Sun's shop is delicious, especially the preserved peaches." ”

Gui Qiu became more and more uncomfortable, and said "haha" twice, and came out with Zhou Dingxiang and Gui Chongyang.

Zhou Dingxiang had already snapped her fingers and said, "The Zheng family's duck goods are also good, especially the roast duck rack, which is fragrant." There are also Guo's pancakes, authentic bean flour pancakes, which are sweet and strong. ”

Zhou Lilac is like a few treasures, Guiqiu paid attention to the shops on both sides, and paid special attention to places such as bun shops and dim sum shops, as well as some street stalls.

Gui Chongyang looked at this and that, these two people are exquisite, and the other is innocent, which can be regarded as complementary.

However, Zhou Dingxiang was innocent and innocent, and the matter about Guiqiu became clever. Master Zhou gave her two handfuls of money before and asked her to sell snacks to Gui Chongyang, but along the way, Gui Er's grandmother, Yang's, Mei's, and Mei Duo everyone had a share, even Gui's second grandfather also had a share, and it was a salty dim sum beef tongue cake.

Gui Qiu didn't notice it at first, but when he heard it at the end, he said "spending money blindly", but the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't hide it.

When the three of them returned to the Zhou family's shop, looked at the big bag in Gui Chongyang's hand, and knew that Zhou Lilac bought it for everyone in the Gui family, Gui Wu glanced at Gui Qiu, and then said: "Let my niece bother, warm the pot at home in a few days, and go to play at home with Qiu'er." ”

Zhou Lilac didn't know anything else, so she responded generously.

It was Gui Qiu, whose face was slightly red, but he still spoke: "Fifth uncle, do you want the family to come to the town first?" ”

Whether it is mentioning family matters or routinely "looking at each other", there is no reason for the woman to send it to the door, otherwise it will be looked down upon.

"Do you still have to worry about this? Let Uncle Zhong come over in a few days. "Although Gui Wu is just an uncle, he is also inexplicably sad, this nephew is really raised by others.

The two families talk about marriage, and they don't decide on it in one sentence, but they also need to be a formal matchmaker.

Gui Wu wants to ask his senior brother Zhong Xiaoyi to be a big matchmaker, which is also to give the Zhou family decency. Zhong Xiaoyan has no grade, but he is also an errand boy in the yamen, and he can speak well in the county.

Gui Qiu was relieved at this time, "hehe" smiled, and blushed into a red buttocks.
